The outskirts of Beijing are still covered with snow, and the wasteland in the distance has no grass, and the sky is gloomy.

There are several green cloth mule carts parked on the official road.

"Master...... Father...... I'll go with you, I'm not afraid of hardship, I can take no one with me, I'll treat me as a girl......" Guo Luoluo cried so much that his liver and intestines were broken.

With a wry smile on his face, the eighth master said, "...... All these years, I can't stand you. ”

Guo Luo Luo choked up and said, "It's me who is not good...... It's me who I'm sorry for my grandfather...... I'm sorry for ......."

"Don't talk about it." The eighth master wiped her tears, helped her back to the car, and said, "Hello haode is staying in the house, and you can usually go and talk to a friend." I also have people to take care of the imperial tomb, slaves and eunuchs, so I don't need to chop wood and boil water by myself. ”

Guo Luoluo cried almost out of breath. What does the Imperial Tomb look like? When the eighth master arrives there, what those eunuchs will do to him can be imagined even by fools. I can't even drink hot water at that time, how can I live this kind of life?

The eighth master said: "I have always felt that Huang Ama did not forgive me, and this time, I want to haode to ask Huang Ama for guilt." ”

He turned his head to He Zhuo and said, "Runqian, I have always mistaken you. Go back to your hometown, I will prepare some silver for you, and buy some land when you return to your hometown, haven't you always wanted to open a academy, teach chemistry, and write books and speak? Go ahead. ”

Things have come to this point, and He Zhuo is still confused. But he knew that the eighth master didn't tell him everything. The emperor should have taken the handle of the eighth master, and he couldn't announce it to the public, so he drove him out of Beijing like this. If there is no accident, in this life, it is impossible for the eighth master to come back.

Thinking of this, he knelt down and kowtowed to the eighth master, remembering that when the two masters and servants got along in the past, he also felt that the world was impermanent.

He Zhuo...... Congratulations to the master......"

The eighth master stood and accepted the salute, and then personally helped him up, looked at Guo Luoluo, who was crying in the car, and sighed: "I'll leave now, Lao Runqian will send my family home for me." In the future, the mountains and rivers will be long, and there will be a period of zaijian. ”

He Zhuo's heart jumped.

The eighth master got into the mule cart and went to the imperial tomb under the escort of several entourages.

The emperor did not send someone to 'send' the eighth master, because if the eighth master did not go, in addition to not complying with the holy decree, he would be disrespectful to the first emperor and have no heart to respect his father. Therefore, the eighth master does not need to be escorted by others, and will leave for the imperial tomb as soon as possible after receiving the order.

It's just that what the eighth master zuihou said to him, was it unintentional or intentional?

He shook his head, what's the use of thinking about this at this point? No matter what the eighth master is planning behind his back, the emperor will be able to break his calculations just by detecting it.

This is the emperor, long live. If the eighth master doesn't move, it will be a dead end.

Now even He Zhuo can't be sure, is the eighth master trying to make the emperor use him willingly to reset the bureau, or is he setting up the bureau for the sake of setting up the bureau?

…… Maybe even the eighth master himself can't tell the difference, right?

His hard work is so vulnerable in front of others. This is the most difficult thing for the eighth master to accept.

He Zhuo sighed: "...... It's not what it used to be. ”

Even he began to miss the Kangxi Dynasty, the first emperor's father-son affection for the eighth master. This makes the eighth master have a glimmer of life no matter what, and it is also the real reliance of the eighth master when he can show his ambitions in the DPRK. After today, as long as the emperor refuses to use the eighth master and keeps hanging him, the eighth master can only be an idle clan in the mansion in this life.

How could the eighth master endure it?

He Zhuo returned to the car and said respectfully: "Fujin, let's go home." ”

Guo Luo Luo looked ahead blankly, and the eighth master's mule cart had disappeared. He Zhuo asked again before she came back to her senses, she wiped her tears, and her face was no longer full of sorrow, "Just listen to Mr." ”

She sat back in the car, not the eighth master, she couldn't lose her temper in front of outsiders.

He Zhuo got on his horse and escorted Guo Luoluo's mule cart back to Wangfujing.

In the past, there were two large stone lions in front of the gate of the mansion, and at this time only the empty pedestal remained. The door in front of the door may not have been painted for a long time, and the people in the house don't even dare to wash it from time to time, for fear that the paint will be washed off and it will not look good.

After Guo Luoluo got out of the car, he saw the stone lion pedestal, and then looked at the gloomy and mottled door, thinking of the high spirits of the eighth master in his early years, and now he is desolate......

He Zhuo sent her all the way back to the second gate before she was about to leave, but Guo Luo Luo turned around and went to the eighth master's study.

"Sir, take me to my master's study." She said.

He Zhuo was grateful for the eighth master's kindness to him, so he obeyed his fate and personally led Guo Luo Luo to the study.

The eunuchs waiting in the study were still there, and when they saw Guo Luoluo, they knelt down and kowtowed, while opening the curtain and making tea, looking very attentive.

As soon as the eighth master left, he seemed to have taken away all the spirit and spirit in this house. Even the people in the study have no backbone.

When Guo Luo Luo saw this scene, he was even more uncomfortable.

Everything in the study was the same as before, except that the bookshelves around it were mostly empty. When the eighth master went to the imperial tomb, the most luggage he brought was the books in the study.

It was not the first time that Guo Luo Luo had come in, but the last time she entered the eighth master's study was several years ago.

She stroked the tables and chairs here with nostalgia.

Seeing this, He Zhuo wanted to retreat, but Guo Luoluo left him again. She sat down and said, "Please sir draft a book for me." ”

He Zhuo was puzzled, out of loyalty to the old master, he asked one more sentence: "I don't know what kind of excerpt Fujin wants to write?" Who do you want to ask to hand it over? ”

Even if the eighth master was still in the past, he couldn't hand the fold to the front of the emperor for a long time, and he had to ask people to help him deliver it everywhere, let alone now? Even if I was willing to help before, I'm afraid I can't do it now.

Guo Luo Luo said: "Please be guilty." ”

He Zhuo was stunned, he never expected that Fu Jin would actually hand over this.

Guo Luoluo's face was expressionless, but he still said firmly: "The eighth master failed to live up to the holy grace and caused such an end, naturally he deserves death." The emperor can deal with it leniently, and everyone in the palace is grateful for the kindness of Long live. ”

He Zhuo hesitated: "Write like this...... Will the emperor spare the master? ”

Guo Luo Luo said: "I will go in person, even if I cry and beg him, I also want him to let the eighth master go!" ”

The ban was lifted in the Old Summer Palace, and the fourth master announced that Erhe would accompany Li Wei, and even Fuhui brought it over. As soon as he came, he was pulled out by Hongyun, and now he couldn't help but go out, and the two rushed out of the house under the care of the eunuchs and ran away shouting for a snowball fight.

Zhao Quanbao was talking about Liu Baoquan: "The slave brought his apprentice Xiao Luzi over, Xiao Luzi said that he wanted to wait for the master to die, and was scolded by Liu Baoquan, and he cried when he came back." ”

Li Wei said: "How is Liu Baoquan now?" ”

Even Erkh remembered this imperial chef and listened very attentively.

Li Wei will let Zhao Quanbao take care of this matter, or because the fourth master mentioned it, and said: "Liu Baoquan is loyal to you, and it is nothing wrong for you to let people take care of him, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

The subtext of this is to let her go with peace of mind, he knows, and he won't think that she is doing something maliocent.

Li Wei only asked Zhao Quanbao to send the silver before, because although Liu Baoquan has a house in Beijing and there are people in it, he rarely comes out.

Zhao Quanbao, a chief eunuch, has a heroic past, which can shock many people.

However, since there is a sentence from the fourth master, she simply invited the doctor for Liu Baoquan, and asked the Li family to take care of it more, after all, it is inconvenient for her to leave the palace here.

As for Su Peisheng, the fourth master actually instructed someone to find him a righteous son to take care of him and return to his hometown. For a while, the scenery is the same.

At that time, the people who folded in the Old Summer Palace were the only two who came out alive. But when Zhao Quanbao said that Su Peisheng's limbs were completely wasted, and even when she was lying in bed and had to wrap diapers, she felt that it was not easy to pick up this life.

Erhe is frightened these days, and she is not allowed to enter the Old Summer Palace for no reason, if it weren't for Huang Ama and Eniang personally calling someone to see her and telling her that it is okay, she would have wanted to break into the garden to take a look.

Li Wei couldn't cry or laugh when she heard her say this, and said, "Did you use the guards that your Ama gave you like this?" "It is said that Princess Gulun like Erhe who is in Jingkai Mansion doesn't need too many guards, but the fourth master still gave her a three-hundred-person escort team.

And this favor is not available to other princesses in Beijing, and Yierha only has more than 100 people who guard the mansion, and she can't be regarded as her person. Although there is also the duty of guarding the princess's mansion.

Li Wei also took the opportunity to ask about Duanyi and Duanjing. She brought the two princesses back, and who knew what had happened. I didn't take care of them for the whole New Year, and the two spent the New Year in their respective princesses' mansions, and this trip back to their hometown to visit relatives became nondescript.

Erhe said: "E-niang don't worry, the Queen Mother called them into the palace during the New Year, and let King Chengjun and Wubeile go into the princess's mansion to visit, and I also asked people to go to see it." They are all very happy to be back for the Chinese New Year. ”

"That's good." Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Erhe seemed to be a little speechless, so she asked the waiting person to go down, and when there was no one, she said, "Say, what do you want to ask?" ”

Erhe asked in a whisper, "What the hell is going on?" I asked Hongyun and Hongyun, but they wouldn't tell me. ”

Li Wei shook her head and said with some seriousness: "I can't tell you." Don't inquire anymore, there are things you don't know. ”

Erhe was frightened, and Li Wei was a little distressed, but just looking at this matter, the fourth master could only tell her in a secret, and she knew that about the assassination of the Holy Driver, once it came out, it would definitely be a big case. So the fewer people who know, the better. For Erkh, she didn't know better.

After comforting her for a while, she stayed in the garden. When the fourth master came back, she quietly told him to be gentle with Erhe.

The fourth master immediately wondered if he had been too cold to his daughter recently, and said, "I know, I've been too busy to ask her lately, I will take half a day tomorrow to let her and Fuhui come over, let's watch the play." ”

Li Wei confessed: "It's not you, it's me who trained her today and scared her." ”

The fourth master said strangely: "You miss her so much, why did you call her here and train her?" Erhe is obedient and sensible, hello haode told her, she will definitely understand. ”

In terms of sons, the fourth master is a strict father, and she is a loving mother. But for Erhe, she is a strict mother, and the fourth master is a loving father.

Compared to Hongyu, they had to move away from her to study since she was three years old, but Erhe lived with her until she got married. Even if you want her to live with her sisters, you must first let her go to Erhe's wishes. Hongyu and they have to think twice about opening the mansion and sealing Baylor, and Erhe is the princess Gulun when he marries.

There are many other benefits and exceptions.

For example, after the thirteenth master took over the post of commander of the Nine Gates, the fourth master said that the Internal Affairs Office would let Erhe's forehead take care of it first, and immediately took office.

From just a member of the outdated family who received Lu Yin, he ascended to the sky in one step after becoming a princess. The person in this position can be used only by loyalty, and Fukkinga is Erhe's forehead, and the relationship between the young couple is good, so he can't be wrong.

Li Wei reluctantly explained the cause and effect, and did not forget to express her dissatisfaction again: "...... You didn't even tell me, I just thought Erkh wouldn't know. ”

The fourth master smiled, going around and around is still this. But in the end, this is a scandal, or a scandal that he sees the wrong person. He might be able to speak in front of Thirteen, but he couldn't open his mouth to her anyway.

This time, there was no follow-up, because the fourth master asked people to take the play book over and ask her what kind of play she would take Erhe to watch tomorrow?

"Call Hongyun's family too, and the girl I showed Hongyun to also call over, everyone is lively and lively together." He said.

The family that the fourth master picked for Hongyun was not very good, but Li Wei had seen the girl and thought that the girl was good, and she looked very cute and cute. If you talk about the edge, Hongyu Fujin Borzin is not as good as this girl.

As for the reason why she felt unpleasant, this girl's Amma was gone. There weren't many of her brothers who could handle it. Of course, if the fourth master is promoted as a relative in the future, the future is not easy to say.

This girl is a person with a white flag, surnamed Shu Mulu. In the last draft, Siye Dao was too young to leave a brand, and this year's re-election is estimated to be able to point to Hongyun. Now it's just a matter of knowing what everyone knows.

The fourth master was probably afraid that she still wanted to ask about it, so he deliberately said: "When the time comes, I will ask Hongyun to send a fold, and the two of them will be able to meet." ”

I have to say that compared to asking about the real murderer of the poisoning case (the fourth master must have already counted), it was not as curious as the first meeting between Hongyun and the future Fujin. She still wants to be sure of her son's happiness earlier.

After all, he hasn't really married yet, if Hongyun doesn't like it at first sight, then it's too late to change.

She saw that the fourth master had shown some randomness in Hongyun's marriage, and maybe the children in the future would choose according to Hongyun's standard. The girl herself may be very good, but the family background will probably not be able to mention it.

This is also the same as the practice of the first emperor.

The only disharmony on the day of listening to the play was that the fourth master was temporarily called out, but Hongyun and Shu Mulu seemed to have a good impression of each other. She asked Shu Mulu, who was sitting under her, to send a play book to Hongyun, and the two simply exchanged a look.

After Shu Mulu left, she asked Hongyun, this kid was surrounded by his younger brothers and coaxed his expression, and naturally said: "She is very beautiful, and my son likes it very much." ”

Li Wei was so choked by this straightforward remark that she couldn't ask the rest of the words.

Although I don't expect to see each other's hearts when we meet for the first time, at least don't just say that you are willing to look at your face. may have seen that she was disappointed, so Hongyun added two more sentences: "He is a very well-behaved person, and his son should be fine if he thinks that he will be fine when he enters the house." ”

Li Wei completely wasted her thoughts, and comforted herself that at least Hongyun still fancied Fujin beautiful, Hongyun didn't dig out a more affectionate comment from his mouth for a long time than 'rules and sensible'.

At night, she looked at the account books and packed up her things, and the fourth master was going to Zhili in early February, but she set off in mid-January to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum. You may also want to see the eighth master in the imperial tomb.

The fourth master came back and sat there after going out to meet people.

As soon as she saw it, she knew that she was angry after being called out, so she used Hongyun's matter to interrupt and distract him. It's not good for his body to think about those bad things all the time, not to mention that he loves to sulk. And when it comes to children, he usually listens to them, and it works better than anything else.

The fourth master listened to her nagging for a night, from turning his back to her, to leaning on the pillow with tea in his hand, and said with a smile: "When a man looks at a woman, of course, he looks at the posture first. Hongyu can praise the rules and sensible, that is, he is very satisfied with his Fujin. He couldn't help but sigh.

Li Wei said casually: "Sighing will sigh away the blessing, don't sigh." ”

The fourth master was amused by her, and took the folds she had approved. There are a lot of trivial matters in the holy car, in addition to the eunuchs and palace maids brought by the harem, there are also car drivers, honor guards, etc. These folds were sent to him, wasting his time and having to look at them. Zuihou sent him to her in one go.

The bottom of the fold is covered with the small seal he gave her in his early years.

He touched the seal, and suddenly said, "Take the phoenix seal, you can keep it." ”

Li Wei raised her head stiffly: "...... Yes? ”

She knew about the palace note, no matter how the fourth master covered it up and said that it was because the queen was seriously ill, she still guessed what the queen had done again. may be because the poisonous wine has something to do with her this time (but she doesn't think the queen will be so ruthless), or it may be that some other things were exposed in this investigation.

The fourth master has extremely high requirements for the queen's character, and sometimes she wonders, is it because of his bad relationship with the queen that he will be more and more critical of her? It is said that feelings are lubricants. Many times people will be a little more tolerant of people who have feelings.

The fourth master just looked at her like this, and his expression and eyes showed that he was definitely serious.

She's really a little silly now.

The fourth master thought for a while, but still explained what he thought: "You are in charge of more and more things now, and you also need to have a seal that matches one side." The phoenix seal is also a useful thing, you don't have to care about it, and holding it just makes it easier for you to act. ”

She would rather not have this convenience.

Her avoidance of the queen has always been not only due to the knot in her previous life, but now there are fewer and fewer things in her previous life. But because now the queen seems to have become the end of the crossbow, as long as she pushes lightly, she will fall, but she has to express that she has no ambition for the rear position.

She knew the fourth master's love for her, she knew it very well, and it was because of his feelings for her that he felt that it was no big deal for him to hold the phoenix seal for her.

But everyone outside has no feelings for her.

Feelings will affect people's judgment, and without feelings, they will be more strict, and they will not hesitate to figure out each other with the greatest malice.

In other words, the fourth master is now dizzy by her. It's a pity that there is no one outside who is stunned by her.

So if this phoenix seal is really accepted, she will really become an adulterous concubine, and maybe she will be famous in the history books.

Finally, there are fewer people who speak ill of her recently, and she began to think about her credit for giving birth to six children to the fourth master, she hasn't had enough of this kind of idle life, and she must never go back to the past.

She gave the fourth master an idea: "Why don't you send this phoenix seal to Kunning Palace?" If you need to use it (basically not), please come out again. When you make a decree, I will use it instead? ”

The fourth master shook his head and smiled, and pulled her into his arms gently: "You......" His voice was as soft as cotton, looking at her gaze made her feel that what she said just now was really right.

However, the fourth master is not a person who gives up so easily. Feng Yin was indeed sent to Kunning Palace at her request—yes, he had written down her advice and the virtue of not loving power to the bachelor who served as the living note.

It's in the history books.

After Li Wei heard this, she actually had a sense of shame that people would see and study it hundreds of years later.

Then the fourth master made a golden seal for her.

With this, she naturally had to leave her former concubine seal idle, but after this seal was brought over by him personally, she felt that it was not quite right.

The concubine seal should be a squatting dragon, which means that the dragon body on the gold seal should be lower. The dragon on her side is half squatting.

Moreover, the queen's seal only uses jade, and all but the queen uses gold seals. Although the new one that the fourth master gave her was also a golden seal, the golden dragon had a flawless white jade bead in his mouth.

Holding this seal, she believed that the fourth master really planned to give her the phoenix seal.

And I don't know how long he's been thinking so. For this seal is not something that can be made in a day or two.

The fourth master sat beside her, held her hand and tried the seal, looking at the bright red mark in the middle of the white paper in front of him, he sighed: "I expected that you would not take the phoenix seal according to my wishes, so I prepared this seal early in the morning." ”

Li Wei touched the orb in the dragon's mouth.

He put his arm around her from behind and said, "Susu, you should know how to treat you in my heart." ”

According to the words of the fourth master, even if she is not moved to tears, or her heart is full of joy, or she is so excited that she jumps up and gives him a kiss, at least she has to laugh.

But she couldn't even laugh.

She could only turn around and hug him softly.

The Changchun Palace has never been so quiet. Although it has always been very quiet, it seems that there is really no one in it like now, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who are standing in the palace and waiting are like dead people, without the slightest anger.

When he stopped the palace note, he was concerned about the queen's body, and even the phoenix seal was taken away quietly.

But the box with the phoenix seal that had been respectfully placed in the main hall suddenly disappeared one day, and even the main hall was locked up at some point.

On the grounds of recuperation due to a long illness, the queen moved to live in the apse.

The people in the palace also seemed to feel the dead air that came from nowhere, but everyone could feel it.

In the small Buddha hall in the apse, Yuan Ying was kneeling there to pick up Buddha rice. But even she didn't know if she had recited the scriptures, she just picked them up mechanically.

Her life is like the Western table clock in the temple that is wound by the little eunuch every day, walking in a regular manner.

After reciting the sutra, she finished her morning's work.

Dai Jia's family will not come, although Concubine Ke and Su promised not to move out of Changchun Palace, but they will not come to her either.

She sat on the couch until Mama Zhuang came up and asked her, "Master, do you want to pass on lunch?" ”

She realized that she had been looking in the direction of the temple door, as if she was expecting someone to come in.

- What she wants to see is the eunuch next to the emperor. She wanted to see him, and she had something to say.

Mama Zhuang couldn't wait for her to respond for a long time, and she didn't urge again, so she thought about it and went straight down to order.

Yuan Ying stopped her: "Hand the fold for me to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

Mama Zhuang turned around hesitantly and persuaded, "...... Master, long live is not in the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

Long live has been in the Old Summer Palace.

Yuan Ying knew that Mama Zhuang might think that she was crazy, so she said, "I have already written it, and you can hand it over." The Heart Cultivation Palace has taken my fold and will hand it to the emperor. They didn't dare to hide it. ”

A glimmer of hope rose in Mama Zhuang's heart, maybe there really is a chance?

And after that the master and the servant sat in the house.

Mama Zhuang couldn't stand the unbearable waiting, and couldn't help asking, "Master, will you really come after seeing it?" ”

"Yes." She nodded, "What I'm going to tell him is about the concubine, and he will definitely come." ”

Mama Zhuang was shocked, she never expected the queen to dare to mention the concubine! She knelt down with a thud and said, "Master, please...... Think twice......"

Yuan Ying sneered lightly and said, "Look at you, you will be scared like this when you mention the concubine." In this world, it is also in the emperor's heart, and the concubine is too good to be a haode person. ”

Mama Zhuang didn't dare to say any more, and Yuan Ying muttered, "I can't be wronged by him like this......"

- She's not as bad as he thinks. That's someone else framing her!

The next day, the fourth master returned to the palace to greet the Queen Mother.

In Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother said a few words to him, then sighed and said, "Go and do your business." ”

The fourth master knew that the queen mother had guessed it, so he got up and said, "My son will come when he goes, and I will drink tea with you later." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Go, go." She saw that the fourth master was leaving, and said softly: "Don't be too harsh on the queen." She was pointed out to you by the Emperor Xian. Besides, there is Honghui......"

The fourth master took a deep breath and restrained: "I only hate that I didn't separate her from Honghui as soon as possible, my sons have been harmed by her!" ”

The author has something to say: I haven't finished writing yet, but I'll finish it tonight, so I'll change it so much first, but I don't know when I'll finish it...... I'll try to get it by half-past twelve
